Title: Lets get an Amigan count!
Post by: Marcb on July 06, 2010, 12:39:32 PM
Let's see if we can get a rough count of how many Amigans there are out there...

Link to this poll on other sites so we can get a wider coverage...

That's quite a lot :-)


About this poll, i of course own several classic amigas. Only a classic amiga makes an amigan.

I have, 3 a1ks, one a1200, one a3k, one GBA1000 unpopulated, 1 eMac running Morphos, 2 AROS machines, use UAE regularly on Windows, and Mac, have UAE on the wii, etc. Looking forward to NatAmi. Now I just need Amithlon and AOS 4 on something and I guess I'll have hit al the bases.

I'm not sure if I want to be a Count... How about Baron?

I have several Amigas all set up and working which get used regularly, and I also use an A1600 Aros netbook which is a next-gen Amiga as far as I'm concerned.

+1 for all of the above.

I seriously don't have 'one' Amiga... However there was a time I did.

There are more Snipes than there are Amigans.

Shouldn't option 1 be "Yes, I use 1 or more (of the) classics" ? I have one A500 but do not use it you see.

C'mon, that's nonsense.  (I too own a double-digit number of classic Amigas.)

As the sig might reveal I enjoy both classics, emulation and NextGen.  All different, all the same.

I occasionally use my stock A3000 and more often nowadays, WinUAE. ImageFX is just perfect in emulation.

I am an amigan. I use Amiga Forever, and Aros. I sold all my 'real' amigas because I was sick of worrying about them dying. (had an a1000 die) If my current 'amiga' dies I can replace it literally for free.

You can continue playing amiga russian roulette with 25 year old hardware if you want. All my capacitors are on the right way, my batteries will probably never leak, and I can replace anything that dies with little effort or cost.

And I can run all the same software as you and more.

I sold all of my classic Amigas.  For the money I got selling off my old A4000 with CSPPC, Mediator 4000 and PCI cards, Mirage tower, VLab, SCSI card, I got an iMac G4 17" which at the time was top of the range and didn't keep crashing and ran Quake at more than 20 fps.  Now I use MacOS X and MorphOS and occasionally AOS 3.9 under emulation.

I have a bunch of classic Amigas, but only an A3K has a place on the desk with a job to do.

There is a CDTV in the livingroom A/V rack but I don't use it anymore (Finite lifespan of laser optics)

I have an Amiga1000 that I recently restored, an Amiga500, an Amiga1200, and an Amiga1200 tower I'm putting together. Been out of town a lot recently so I've been using AmiKit. Although its really cool and fast, there's just that feeling you get when you are on classic hardware. Brings back such fond memories... :)

Oddly enough, that´s just five days after I wrote my first blog post here on Amiga.org.

Hi fellow Amigans.
I have 2 A500, 2 A600, 1 A2000, 1 ZX Spectrum 48k(rubberpad), 1 CPC Amstrad 6128, and 1 EmuBox containing a picoITX in a A600HD case, running AmigaSYS4 on UAE, and several emulators smoothly. :)

It's very hard to get any real results, especially with poll on some forum. I have many friends using Amigas, but they aren't using this forum (nor any other foreign forums for that matter).

Love my miggys.  I will never get rid of them, and only reason i haven't played on them for the past month is my college classes are kicking me ass, plus I work full time and am a single dad of two girls.  But I gotta admit everytime I walk by the Amigas in my family room I get a huge urge to want to just play them.  Well after summer quarter think I will spend a day locked away with them and do some hardcore Amiga gaming!

That's a false reading.  That was the day Amiga.org got spammed by bots.  Wayne deleted loads of accounts and verified new accounts by hand after that IIRC.

The real number would be nowhere near that.

I had a cool a 3000 but it was removed by theft,   so now i use UAE  (being a disabled vet on a fixed income I can't afford the prices for another 3000  yet.  but i am saving for one  :)
